The Algebra of Ice was the sixty-seventh novel in the BBC Past Doctor Adventures series. It was written by Lloyd Rose, released 6 November 2004 and featured the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.

This is the first Past Doctor Adventures novel to feature this line up of Doctor, companion and Lethbridge-Stewart.

Publisher's summary

A genius maths nerd, a weird webzine publisher, and the Doctor's old ally, the Brigadier, find themselves helping the Doctor and Ace solve what should be a simple puzzle: the appearance of a crop circle in the Kentish countryside.

Hardly uncommon. But there are some peculiar features. It's not a circle but a series of square-sided shapes. It's filled with ice. And it draws the Doctor and Ace into a confrontation with a reality right next to zero.
